It doesn't sound like it, although I can't really say what it does sound like. :confused:

I heard it today when I was reading and I was like, "what the...?"

It's the first clean sung bits in Master's Apprentice reversed.

Personally, Ghost Reveries is one of the heaviest Opeth albums, but at the same time, the softest besides ****ation.One can't deny that the heavy parts on it are possibly the heaviest moments in the bands career.Not to mention the lyrics which have never been so dark and sinister.I get chills while reading the lyrics to The Baying of the Hounds.[/QUOTE]
What? Heaviest album? This is the softest besides D'nation. Even the heavy parts of this album aren't even close to Deliverance or MAYH or BWP. So yes, I do deny that the heavy parts of the album are possibly the heaviest of their career.

So do many of you guys post in Opeth's official forum?

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]So yes, I do deny that the heavy parts of the album are possibly the heaviest of their career.[/QUOTE]
:lol: That was really funny for some reason.

I agree that this album isn't really their heaviest, but that's not a bad thing at all, in my mind.

I agree it's not a bad thing. Opeth do the less heavy thing beautifully as well. I love their more melodic stuff.

And I agree, an album doesn't have to be heavy to be good. I love Dam[I]n[/I]ation, but this was just a boreing album for me.

What Genre are these guys?


Black water park kicks.

I think the best genre to describe them is Progressive Metal.

I just got Opeth's CD Ghost Reveries, and it is awesome. I also have ****ation, and thats awesome too. These guys are moving up on the 'most played' list on my mp3 player.

Opeth are a difficult band to genreise. It's hard. There's times when they just sound pure black metal, other times they don't sound very black metal at all (just an example.) They say themselves it's hard to put their music in a genre.

Get all their CDs and Opeth will be #1 on your most played list for a year.

Get Black water park. Its amazing, you wont stop listenening to it.

I'll try. I get most of my CD's of this website because I got this deal, but it doesn't have many CD's.

Well get Blackwater Park if you get the opportunity. It's incredible.

[QUOTE=relliK]Oh C'mon.Orchid and Morningrise are masterpieces.If anything, I see MAYH as a step backwards from them.The great thing about both of them is the fact that there are guitar harmonies most of the time, you can choose to listen to only the left channel, the right channel, or both.Each of those show a different identity.Giving both those albums more than one face.

[B]Orchid is possibly one of the best debut cds by any band, ever.[/B]

Morningrise is just godly.It has the best acoustic material of Opeth's career.Where is there a better soft song than "To Bid You Farewell"?[/QUOTE]



My thoughts exactly. Most of the people I know that listen to Opeth or know them, can't stand Orchid and Morningrise. [B]To each His Own[/B] right? I totally respect that. Here's the way I see it: If you like it, like it, if you don't then don't. The only thing that matters is that you're happy. I'm very happy with Orchid and Morningrise. Both of those albums have changed my life forever.

Yes, Orchid is definately the most revolutionary debut album ever recorded. (IMO) :thumb:

That's why they're Opeth :p

Yeah I think Opeths lyrics got better as they went along to... Ghost Reveries lyrics are the best part of the cd IMO.

And yeah, Opeth is hard to classify to one genre... just like you said in the first post. :thumb: But Progressive Metal gets my vote.

Yeah, I would have to agree on Progressive Death Metal. PDM gets my vote as well.

I have tickets to Vancouver. I have no idea how Fireball Ministry sound though. I'm kinda disappointed that Nevermore aren't coming to the West coast. But oh well, the headlining tour then.

I'd have to say Opeth's best song writting (Lyrically) would appear on Orchid and Morningrise.

Lyrically, I would say Morningrise or Still Life, but that's a really close race.

[QUOTE=Flynn]Yes, Orchid is definately the most revolutionary debut album ever recorded. (IMO) [/QUOTE]

Yeah, because [i]In the Court of the Crimson King[/i] is just pure rubbish. :p

As far as lyrics go, I haven't really pay'd attention to lyrics to give a proper opinion. As for riffs, I say Morningrise wins.

You gotta give props to Morningrise being it's not a Concept Album. But yes, Still Life [I]is[/I] a Concept Album, so is [B]My Arms, Your Hearse[/B]. It's not a coin toss, MAYH takes the taco! :thumb:

You should really listen to [B]Orchid[/B] and read along until you have it down. Then listen to it when you know the lyrics. There's no spaces...It's so beautiful. :D
